Minister to revamp climate council

Tasmania's Climate Change Minister is taking steps to strengthen the influence of the Climate Action Council.

The move has been recommended in an independent review of the council tabled in Parliament.

The Climate Change Minister Cassy O'Connor said the previous council was frustrated about its capacity to influence Government policy.

Ms O'Connor said she was preparing a formal response to the report.

"If we establish a new council that has greater reach into those ministers, and their agencies, and there's better accountability and transparency mechanisms around what action is taken, I think it's very good for the future of action on climate change in Tasmania," the minister said.

The Climate Action Council was established three years ago to tell the Government how best to tackle climate change.
